With the Rugby World Cup already underway and the local MTN 8 cup final scheduled to take place this afternoon, power utility, Eskom says it is comfortable that load shedding will not be implemented this weekend, provided there are no major breakdowns at its power stations.

After a run of 25 days without resorting to loadshedding, there was a chance that Eskom could schedule level one outages in the next week as it tackles major maintenance, acting CEO Brian Molefe said on Friday.
